User Logon
General
Windows XP:
Here you can choose between the Welcome screen and the logon prompt. The default setting in
Windows XP is the Welcome screen. This shows a list of all available user names, which can be
selected with a mouse click. Alternatively, you can select the option Use the old logon dialog. This
brings up the secure logon prompt, where you are required to enter your logon details manually.
You can also specify here additional settings concerning the behavior and appearance of the logon
screen.
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
You can adjust the behavior and appearance of your logon screen and the logon prompt here. Click on
the Adjust button to set individual options.
Automatic logon
To skip logging on to the system a user can be logged onto the system automatically. If you wish to do
this, select the Enable automatic logon option and enter your logon data in the placeholders below.
Under Security you specify whether or not logon can be skipped using the Shift key. You can also
have the system carry out a logon immediately after a logoff.
Messages
Under Notification before logon, you can set a predefined notification that is displayed to all users
before logon - for example a warning from the boss not to surf the Internet during office hours. To do so,
first enable the Show message before logon option and then enter the title and actual text of the
notification in the input fields.
Under Error search during logon and logoff, you can specify that detailed status messages should
be shown during the logon and logoff process.
Tour (Windows XP)
First-time users can be invited to go on a tour of Windows XP following system startup. During this tour,
the user is shown all important Windows XP modules. Deselect the option Show Windows Tour after
logon if you do not want the tour to be activated after the system starts up. Under Scope, you can
specify whether this option only applies to the current user or to all users.
Welcome Center (Windows Vista) / Getting Started (Windows 7)
New users can be shown the Welcome Center (in Vista) or the Getting Started window when the
system is started up, which is designed to make setting up the system easier and shows links to
further information and offers on the Internet. You can turn this display on or off here.
